The title is hilarious!
The content is on point as usual.
The irony of using the term "Think for yourself" and referencing The Bible makes me laugh.
Beyond that, the advice is good.
Interesting one....how did you come to pick those
scriptures you used?
It was an interesting interpretation of those
scriptures.

I was thinking about how certain parts of the Bible were used to justify slavery. So, it got me thinking about how certain parts of the Bible could be used for good. Then, it pushed me to think how it could be used for financial freedom. So, from there I started doing research, read parts of the Bible relating to money, and narrowed down the selections. I read somewhere that there are over 9,000 references to money in the Bible. One of my favorites is Matthew 25:14-29. I did not include it because I was trying to meet a deadline.
Yes. With know the sinful nature of man, it was quite important to have money as one of the main discussion points in the bible. Considering how man bows down to money so easily, yet not to humble themselves for anything other then him/herself. It is important to understand our relationship to money. God has given it to us to use for his good not our own. This is why we have gotten ourselves into the mess we are in with money.
In reference to Matthew 25:14-29, we have to keep in mind that is a parable and not to only be taken as a literal discussion of money (dollar investment), but personal gifts (or talents) given to us and not used.
Good topic of dicussion to me.
Good Job as always Ms Kara
